Besides C&C3 mods like The Forgotten and Mideast Crisis 2, has anyone else here managed to create another faction and got the skirmish AI for that faction to work in-game? I have been attempting to get six sub-factions for my KW Reloaded mod to get AI working in the skirmish/MP modes.
The good news was that I was able to compile the Skirmish AI files through the AdditionalMaps folder that had "MapMetaData_Global.xml" in it. This winds up having loading the mod correctly through the skirmish menu because of the compilation through the global data instead of static data. I also added a schema file to associate the new factions to be enabled in-game. However, the sub-faction(s) AI is still not affected in-game when I tried to play a skirmish game.
I tried loading a mod with compiled skirmish AI files into the C&C3 Worldbuilder. I already configured the Worldbuilder cfg file to add in my mod into the program. My proposal was that I wanted all other factions' AI to apply to all C&C3/KW maps. I need to add six new skirmish factions as AIs, but the problem is I was limited to adding two new players after adding new skirmish players altogether. The faction selection to a new player still does not recognize the new sub-faction(s). I was expecting to see the following new factions to be used in WB such as FactionBlackHand, FactionMarkedofKane, FactionSteelTalons and so on.
I cannot use the KW map files to be loaded into C&C3 due to incompatible format.

My understanding was that it was not possible. That's why we renamed the Neutral faction.

So you renamed the Neutral faction to what was the Forgotten faction in your expansion mod?

Yes--it was a long time ago--but I believe that is correct. I did the AI, and I recall seeing that. CommieDog would have done the renaming.
